Welcome to the Punpedia entry on panda puns! 🐼 This list starts with puns specifically on the word “panda” and then also has a bunch of generic bear puns to back them up. Enjoy! 🙂

Panda Puns List

Each item in this list describes a pun, or a set of puns which can be made by applying a rule. If you know of any puns about pandas that we’re missing, please let us know in the comments at the end of this page! Without further ado, here’s the list of panda puns:

Appendages → Appandages: As in “Four furry appandages that it uses for walking”

Suspenders → Suspandas: As in “I’ve got some suspandas to help keep my pants from slipping down”

Stupendous → Stupandas: As in “That was an incredibly impressive, nay, stupandas feat!”

Independent → Indepandant: As in “I love the feeling of indepandance” and “That’s an indepandant variable”

Panda bear → Punda bear

Bamboozle: To “bamboozle” someone is to fool or cheat them. Since pandas only eat bamboo, this is a simple bamboo/panda pun.

Her before → Herbivore: “I’ve never met herbivore.”

Try’na (Trying to) → China: “What are you China get from me?”

Black and white: Since pandas are black and white, you might get away with a panda pun that plays on this: “The issue isn’t black and white – there are many factors to consider.” and “They shot the film in black and white to get a noir feel.”

In danger → Endangered: Though it’s not really something to joke about, the Giant panda was once endangered (in 2016 it was downgraded to “vulnerable”). You might slip in the word “endangered” wherever you can (e.g. in place of “in danger” or similar) to make a cheeky panda pun.

Bear: Now we get into some general puns about bears (and not specifically pandas): “Bear with me.” and “I can’t bear this anymore.” and “I will bear the responsibility for this.” and “Child-bearing.” and “Will you bear this luggage across the river for me?” and “Does this tree bear fruit?”

Bearings: “Just let me get my bearings.”

Bearer: “I hate to be the bearer of bad news.”

Barbarian → Barbearian: “He thinks he’s Conan the Barbearian.”

Barbaric → Barbearic: “Their behaviour is barbearic.”

Bare → Bear: “The landscape is bear.”

Barefoot → Bearfoot: “We’ll have to walk bearfoot.”

Barefaced → Bearfaced: “A bearfaced lie.”

Barely → Bearly: “I can bearly stand another of your puns.”

Baritone → Bearitone: “We’ll need another bearitone for the chorus.”

Barium → Bearium: “Bearium is a chemical element.”

Baron → Bearon: “The bearon will see you now.”

Baroness → Bearoness: “The bearoness controls most of this territory.”

Barricade → Bearicade: “We’ll need to bearicade these doors.”

Barrier → Bearier: “This industry has a high bearier-to-entry.”

Barrister → Bearister: “They’ve hired very good bearisters.”

Bearable: “The music is the only thing that makes this party bearable.”

Bearings: “The axle needs new bearings.”

Burial → Bearial: “This is an ancient bearial site.”

Buried → Bearied: “We bearied the chest on the beach,”

Bury → Beary: “She was bearied in thought.”

Cadbury → Cadbeary: “Cadbeary should bring out a dairy-free line.”

Childbearing: “This grizzly is of childbearing age.”

Embarrass → Embearass: “Oh, I’m so embearassed!”

Embarrassment → Embearassment: “This evening has been a complete embearassment.”

Embarrassing → Embearassing: “Oh, how embearassing!”

Forbearance: “He’s very annoying. It will require patient forbearance.”

Welcome to the Punpedia entry on dinosaur puns! 🐲 This entry is a work-in-progress, so please help us out by submitting new puns at the bottom of the page. There’s currently a few puns based around “saurus”, a couple of t-rex puns and a smattering of puns on other dinosaur species and related concepts. Enjoy! 🙂

Dinosaur Puns List

Each item in this list describes a pun, or a set of puns which can be made by applying a rule. If you know of any puns about dinosaurs that we’re missing, please let us know in the comments at the end of this page! Without further ado, here’s the list of dinosaur puns:

Saw us → Saurus: Many dinosaur names end in “saurus” (meaning “lizard”). If you can find some way to slip “saw us” into your sentence, but replace it with “saurus”, you’ve got yourself a corny little dinosaur pun: “Do you think he saurus?”

Saw → Saur: Groups of related dinosaurs often have collective names ending in “saur”, for example the pterasaurs were a group of flying dinosaurs, a member of which was the pterodactyl. An example: “I came, I saur, I conquered.”

Sore → Saur: See the above explanation. Idioms: “You’re a saur loser” and “A sight for saur eyes” and “Sticks out like a saur thumb”

Soar → Saur: See the explanation above.

Thesaurus: Simply mentioning thesaurus (with a slight emphasis on “saurus” if needed) is a staple dinosaur pun in the right context.

They saw us → Thesaurus: This one’s a bit of a stretch (more of a thesaurus pun), but still viable if you’re punning in writing/text: “We tried to run and hide from them, but thesaurus.”

Dynamite → Dinomite: As in “Napoleon Dinomite“

Bone: The word “bone” may be a viable dinosaur pun simply because the majority of the evidence that dinosaurs have left is their fossilised bones which are often on display at museums: “A bone to pick” and “A bone of contention” and “All skin and bones” and “Bare-bones” and “As dry as a bone” and “Chilled to the bone” and “Bone dry” and “Funny bone” and “I can feel it in my bones“

Wrecks → Rex: As in “Ship rex” and “Train rex” and “Nervous rex“

Wreck → Rex: As in “Check yo’self before you rex yo’self”

Treks → T-rex: As in “He takes people on t-rex through the jungle for a living.”

Forex: “Online Forex trading”

You’re a sick → Jurassic: As in “Jurassic puppy, James.”

Drastic → Jurassic: As in “Jurassic times call for Jurassic measures.”

Your ass I c* → Jurassic*: As in “Can I do it? You bet Jurassican.”

Dunno → Dino: As in “I dino whether that’s the correct answer.”

Footprint: Since fossilised dinosaur footprints are a well known thing (seen in museums, for example), simply slipping the word “footprint” into your sentence may be enough to make a subtle dinosaur/fossil pun.

*tious → *ceous: The cretaceous period started 145 million years ago and ended 79 million years later. Dinosaurs existed during this time and the majority became extinct at the end of this period due to the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event. Anyway, if you’re in the company of people who are familiar enough with geological time periods to know the term “cretaceous”, then perhaps you can switch “tious” or “cious” (when it occurs at the end of a word) with “ceous” to make a subtle dinosaur pun as follows: ambiceous, cauceous (cautious), contenceous, nutriceous, pretenceous, ficticeous, supersticeous, surrepticeous, tenaceous, flirtaceous, curvaceous. If you can somehow add “period” after these words, then they’ll work a lot better, e.g. “The flirtaceous period” and “The ambiceous period” and “The surrepticeous period“

Old → Prehistoric: Describe things as “prehistoric” rather than “old”.

Stinks → Extincts: As in “What’s that smell? It extincts!” (So corny! :P)

Wrapped or → Raptor: As in “Would you like it gift raptor not?”

Large/Huge → Mammoth: Note that dinosaurs and mammoths didn’t exist during the same period! However, since the myth runs so deep, you can probably make a dinosaur pun by describing “big” things as “mammoth” things.

Old person/thing → Fossil: It can, of course, be derogatory to call an old person a “fossil”, for example: “Some old fossil called the police about the noise.” So you might want to stick to referring to very old things like antiques as “fossils”.

Facile→ Fossil: The term “facile” means “superficial”. So a fossil puns might go: “His fossil and superficial theory about the extinction of the dinosaurs.”

Clause→ Claws: Many of the most well-known dinosaurs (e.g. velociraptor) are known for their claws, and so a “claw” pun may pass off as a dinosaur pun in the right context.
